We Say Good-Bye and Good Luck To Emelia Udd.

It is with great sadness that we say good bye and good luck to Emelia. We are incredibly grateful for her service to the BABES Network. She is leaving us to pursue her dream of becoming a Mid-Wife. She will begin her classes in June, and her last day with us will be June 12th, so please call and wish her luck!

We will hire a new Case Manager to assist those that need help with housing, Doctor appointments, EIP renewals, etc. (All of the fabulous work that Emelia has helped so many of our members with!!)
